Design Chain @ K

Design Chain @K conference are pleased to announce that we will be returning to the world’s premier trade fair for plastics and rubber, K 2016, following the success of our first event. The two day conference will be held alongside the trade show in Messe Düsseldorf on the 24-25 of October 2016.

The conference will include a breadth of sessions offering insight into the practical and technical innovation aspects of the ‘design chain’ in today’s plastics arena; looking at the designer’s use of plastics and considering the manufacturing, supply chain and project management issues experienced by product designers.

Design is an increasingly important vertical to the plastics market, as progressively manufacturing is influenced by design, and technology is enabling faster development within both sectors. The focus of this year’s conference will be ‘Plastics & Design – What will the future be?’ and will attract senior product designers from international brands.

Our conference acts as a platform in the plastics industry, bringing together respected names in the 'plastics value chain' with notable designers and brands, to consider global perspectives on innovation, efficiency and sustainability.
